Positions from NASCAR México’s official race report, which names only the podium.
Correction, September 18, 2026: This page previously gave an 11:00 AM local start time, taken from the series schedule page. NASCAR México’s race report gives 1:40 PM, so we have used that. We had described this as a home-state win for Alex de Alba Jr. He is from San Luis Potosí, not Aguascalientes, as our own driver profile says, and we had also called this the longer of the series’ two 2026 Aguascalientes races, which we cannot confirm from an official source.
